You should also know that the market offer carpets since twenty years look like the Nain that are knotted, more broadly, in the Khorasan (Birjand, Nishapur, Kachmar and Tabas) west of the same region and Baboul near the Caspian Sea, with a concentration of 1,500 to 2,500 knots/dm².

The quality of this rug is determined by the denomination "Nain 9la", "Nain 6la" or "Nain 4la", where "La" means the number of twisted cotton wires in each warp (the fringes of a hand knotted carpet are an extension of the warps).
Who less the value of "La", who finer the carpet is knotted and who more the carpet will be expensive.
